Thank you for the excellent book suggestion. I've only been writing in C for a few years now. I've been grappling for a better way to manage and abstract some of our utilities in our poorly written legacy application. Every linked list is custom, and every array malloced and freed on the fly -- it's so fragile that sometimes I feel paralyzed. It's been terribly wrong for a long time but I've personally lacked the experience and formal training to make it better through libraries and wrappers. About a year ago I picked up "Mastering Algorithms with C" and it was very helpful at teaching complex algorithms but never really helped me abstract our code base in to something portable and reusable.

I'm certain this book will help me tremendously. :P
